I went to a meetup yesterday that was on the topic of Internet Marketing / SEO / SEM. Then the organizer went into a 20 minute sales pitch around his new training/coaching offering. I'm hoping to figure out a way to spark a meet-up around SEO / SEM in Santa Monica / West Los Angeles / South Bay.

I was lucky enough to be at LaunchPad LA last night to hear Dustin Dolginow from Atlas Ventures/ AngelList.co coach the incoming class on how best to use AngelList to fund their companies. Then Dustin shifted to “crowdfunding SEO” — how to get discovered, understood, and funded on AngelList. Simply outstanding.

I grew up in Los Angeles and went to undergrad at UC Santa Barbara, graduating in 2003 with Honors in Economics. In other words, instead of accepting that “SEO is good,” let's explore what the point of SEO is and when it is actually “good” (that is, promoting a goal). Los Angeles is a great place for startups.

I had an enjoyable conversation this morning with a young team straight out of college this morning and they were calling to ask advice on how to approach fund raising (angels vs. VCs, how to select a VC, etc.) VCs should be more of a coach than proscriptively telling you what to do. SEO marketing vs. social marketing.
